This hike had it all - waterfalls, wildflowers, and mountains!

Jim wished I had picked a shorter hike
Wildflowers everywhere!
A river crossing
More wildflowers!
Our first view of the South Sister Mountain
I couldn't stop taking pictures of the flowers
Green Lake with the South Sister in the distance
Before heading back to our campsite, we stopped at the High Desert Museum just south of Bend. This museum is very well done with indoor displays covering the Native Americans who originally inhabited the region as well as the Oregon Trail. Inside, there are also several wildlife habitats for porcupines, foxes, turtles, snakes, and fish. Outside, there is a replica of a pioneer village with a sawmill, cabin, and barn. We also walked through the aviary area that houses a golden eagle, bald eagle, and several types of owls.
